You'd think that the past two generations would have learned something from the past! I definitely don't think this reflects a majority view (even in Germany), but a few bad apples (especially in Germany)...<BR/><BR/>CarolCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07918419288660146429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915444177822430212.post-67409557212263810672009-01-04T20:36:00.000+01:002009-01-04T20:36:00.000+01:00It makes me sad to read this.

White electric candles in the windows and white twinkle lights in the trees, nothing more.<BR/><BR/>I would be heather in europehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06410006235787175537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915444177822430212.post-26361287256356619302009-01-04T01:29:00.000+01:002009-01-04T01:29:00.000+01:00@Juju73: Thanks for stopping by.It was an interest...@Juju73: Thanks for stopping by.It was an interestingg holiday and one that the children were happy with. I think that I will change how we spend the holidays next year, though.<BR/><BR/>@annonamoose: We have a great public menorah here in Berlin as well. It has been unmolested, but I am sure that you know the Monument to the murdered Jews of Europe is vandalized on a regular basis.

Laws against anti-Jewish behavior are pretty strong in Bavaria and (at least in Bavaria) are taken really seriously. I don't know Berlin well however, it's a much bigger city than Munich and every big city seems to have a thug element. I hope you don't find that to be the general attitide.
